Why do people need to perform mental gymnastics for liking a character from an anime, whatever age it is?
If anything, the sphere of anime fans has become more normal but i guess you are on a “everything is becoming shit”-trip. I guess that happens with some people while becoming old.
Potential targets? Sir, thats everybody.
I mean i am too poor and don’t need a car but i could see myself buying a tesla once elon really is gone and the other two factors change for me.
On a sidenote: You do not need to have a gf or wife to care about human rights. Powers that want to strip large parts of the population of their rights also want to controll you.
Ok fair enough
I did not compare Fallout 4 to New Vegas but to the time it came out. Which is 5 years later btw. New Vegas had a compelling story telling and role playing while Fallout 4 could barely shine with some minor modernizations.
Fallout 4’s more modern gameplay? Oh shut up. They lost me right there. Not that i did not enjoy Fallout 4, do not get me wrong. But it sure is not modern in any way that counts. Quite the opposite. It already feeled aged at release.
What makes me think it is not both?
Well lets take a step back and look at how many pedophiles there are in the population. While we do not know the exact numbers the educated guesses, from rather too few studies that we have, range from 1% to 5%, most putting it at around 3%. I do not really believe that a tiny minority holds such powers as to influence politics or we would not have an AOC in the first place.
In order to understand why there are people advocating for low ages of marriage i would do take a look at our younger past and ask, why WAS the age for marriage low? And the answer, while not much more pleasent, is much simpler than: we somehow have pedohiles leading the world in the shadows. It is much easier to secure marriages that way, because guess what, children have not much say in their lives. So a powerful or rich person can simply chose whom to marry, take a bunch of money and their victim has no power over the decision. It is terrible but it has not much to do with the sexuality of a minority.
So in short i would say occams razor tells us that it is rather unlikely that these policies are pushed by pedophiles, even if some or even many of them might agree with the goal.
I can not really talk about Republican Senators (as i am not an US citizen) but the reason why child abuse is rampant in the catholic church is because the instituational structures foster abuse. Abusers, in turn, tend to go for the easiest victims. Children sadly are not only easy victims, they are also in the care of those priests, leading to many cases of child abuse. I know it is not an easy pill to swallow, but most of these priests are simply put, predators that had children available to them. If they had to care for vulnerable adults, they might have had preferred those. If you are interested i can link you a study about how many perpetrators of child abuse are in fact not pedophiles.
I know it is easy to see children getting the short end of the stick and to cry out “DAMN PEDOPHILIA” but it is really not helpful. There need not be any pedophiles for children to get abused, sexually or not. Let us keep that in mind while we all fight for more and better childrens rights.
Edit: grammar
Can we not conflate religion, control over peoples authority and pedophilia? This is not about diddling children, this is about shackling people before they really can have a say in the matter. Crying about pedophilia is what the other side does too. It wont open anyones eyes to the true motives.
I know that. Those are two different things the police does however. One i think is smart and catches predators the the other perpetrates the very thing they are sworn to destroy in order to get their cases.
Wake me up when all billionares have lost so much money there are none left.
Posing as a child is not a criminal act. Posting cp however is. Not sure which of these two you mean so id say you are talking probably about the first.
Cops being criminal should not even be able to lead to an arrest but i guess the police does not exist to fight crime but to fill prisons.
Time to stop giving attention to that attention whore. He is nothing more. I never understood why people would jerk each other off over listening to some old, undereducated and ugly bastard. If thats what i wanted, there are more interesting stories and takes available under my local bridge. I do not even have to pay for it and listen to ads.
Thanks. This video is gold. I watched it a year ago but this is something i should rewatch once in a while.
Disconnecting from the people around me does not sound healthy but you do you.
Are you talking about people not wanting to be your friend because of you going/being vegan? I have yet to meet someone like this. Not sure i would try to befriend those people anyways, sounds like a special breed of intolerant prick.
They are not slumping enough. Shit food, for shitty prices.
Just as Israeli government does not equal Isreali citizens, U.S. citizens do no equal U.S. government. Please lets not fall victim to the same hate that fascists use as excuse for their horrible actions.
